Orchids to

the amazing lady in the gray van at McDonald’s who paid for my sweet tea! I will pay it forward.

Onions to

parents who don’t think it’s a problem with their daughters wearing extremely revealing dresses that leaves nothing to the imagination to the prom.

my tax dollars paying for undocumented immigrants our current federal leader has let cross our border.

all the money being poured into charter schools when it could be used for basic supplies for public schools.

blaming the current administration’s border policy for a neo-Nazi killing immigrants with a weapon of war.

the community organization that rebranded without consulting anyone in the community.

dog owners at Donner Park who let their dogs off the leash to chase the squirrels.

every single employee who has seemed to become inefficient and inept at every process of their jobs.

the gun industry making America’s malls and schools into war zones.

the school board members who have had policies since January and are too inept to understand and vote.

liberal icon who signed a million dollar deal to sell sugar-filled drinks to children.
